"We little realize the value of a service club until we become interested in its work," said Dr. Waynick. "I, of course, can tell you more of the Rotary naturally. But I call to mind particularly at this time the effect of Rotary in the Sacramento. There when the depression hit, the membership of the clubs throughout the valley decreased.

The second attempt was more or less successful. The party successfully navigated the Atlantic Ocean as far as the Isthmus of Panama where they had to travel over land to the Pacific Ocean and again go aboard a small steamer which brought them to San Francisco, and eventually the party landed in Anaheim. (The Madame's own story of what occurred after that is printed in this issue of the paper). Ralph Modjeska Wires Regrets New York, N. Y., Sept. 10. George W.

Ted Craig, who is speaker of the assembly told of the activities of the legislative bodies in Sacramento and warned of the trend toward still higher taxes. "I am notably a corporation man. My conception of a corporation is a group of people who have invested their money for the purpose of marketing a commodity, and believe this should be encouraged. Still we have to raise a large sum of money at a special session which I believe will be called in January. When the present administration went into office it was on an economy program, but the word 'economy' was never mention in the last session." IRL FULFER RE-ELECTED AS HEAD OF ANAHEIM POST OF THE AMERICAN REGION IN HOT POLITICAL MEETING Campaign speeches that were cruelly designed to keep the races from falling asleep, and which to a large extent were successful, inasmuch as Fred Sidebottom, who always wages to turn things "bottom-side" up, ascended the rum and with a mighty gavel nearly kept all the old-republicans in their seats. There was little or no interest layed until Commander Fulfer announced that nominations were for the "position" of comder. He was the only nominee for that reason was not used (see paragraph 234 of the article). Well the next numbers (567) as briefly explained by Webb in a three-quarters of our debate with Fred Hays to Fred Sidebottom, by way of being, a past commander, took the arduous task of keeping the republicans awake and going while a crew of democrats led by Joe Elliott, Howard Jones and some other prominent politician counted the ballots. (I love it was Glen Peck). After the first ballot, the demo-judges returned to the chamber with a report from house which stated that theamentarian had rendered( acting to Webster that means( asunder*) a decision that much as there was but one update it would be necessary him to receive a majority of votes. He did and Earl Fulksked that the ballot be unanimous or he wouldn't accept . . . Just to make him feel good any offered the political prayer Earl was IT for another year. Red Hays tried to get his name off the Board where they the candidates names. He it wouldn't be quite right to him in command of the vice department. However, Ted Masstrahe Selection ever, his opponent went down to ignominious defeat when the adjutant, James Heffron, was instructed to cast a unanimous vote for his successor, Jimmy Heffron. Earl Fulfer was prevailed upon to accept the position as historian which under the ericumstances he did. (No one else was nominated anyway). H. P. Anderson whose voice was raised in dissention (not seriously, however) when a unanimous ballot was called for, was induced, by a unanimous ballot, to accept the position of sergeant-at-arms. Tex Middleton did so well during a recent shooting scrape in offering prayers, etc., for the possible victims that he was returned to the office of chaplain without a negative vote. By the time the selection of county council delegates arrived, the crowd was getting a little tired so they just wrote the first names on the board on the ballot and Ray Smith, Joe Elliott and Claire Liebhardt were elected. When it came to the Executive Board, well most of the voters had been exhausted so Tex Masterson, Claire Liebhardt, W. B. Bosserman, and Fred Smith were elected, but the delegates to the National Convention of Anaheim post probably won't know it till the next meeting. Gladly—the meeting adjourned. P.S.-K. B.

Still we have to raise a large sum of money at a special session which I believe will be called in January. When the present administration went into office it was on an economy program, but the word 'economy' was never mention in the last session." Te spoke of the spending orgy of the national legislative bodies and urged all to "get into politics and publicly state they were in politics" as a salvation and return to true government. Louis Danz, who has worked hard for the completion of a memorial to Madame Modjeska, addressed the meeting telling of some of the early life of the famous tragedienne. He also told of the tribulations of those interested in the project which will be brought to a successful conclusion with the unveiling of the monument here next Sunday afternoon. During the business session of the meeting, a resignation from Mrs. Jope, who has been vice president, was read and accepted. Everett Cone was selected to succeed her. The meeting, one of the best yet held, was under the guidance of Ernest Dubois, president. Placentia's New Association Elects Tuffree As Head John C.

Thieves Get $500 In Jewels, Money The home of August Piepenbrink, 523 Ohio Street, was entered on Tuesday evening at which time loot, consisting of jewels and cash, value of which was placed at $500 was taken. The new district exchange is composed of the Placentia Mutual Orange Association, Placentia Orange Growers Association and Bradford Bros., Inc., all of whom were formerly affiliated with the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange at Fullerton. These three Placentia associations handle 3,500 carloads of fruit annually, mostly valencias, but including considerable acreage of lemons, grapefruit and navels, and are among the oldest and staunchest Sunkist cooperative groups in the state. This action represents no change in membership in the Exchange other than to increase the number of district exchanges and of directors on the central board from 25 to 26. A small office will be built in Placentia adjacent to the packing houses, with teletype connection with the Exchange sales department in Los Angeles, in time to begin operation with the opening of the new season November 1. 20-30 Club Hears Conclave Report The members of the Anaheim 20-30 Club heard a detailed report of the recent convention held in Klamath Falls at their meeting held last Monday night in the Marigold Cafe.
